    fluorescence microscopy, to the objective. Each of the colors is produced by an independent module that has been optimized to produce a precise set of wavelengths. The SPECTRA X provides 6 solid state light sources whose outputs are refined by user-exchangeable bandpass filters.
  • Page 5 X and SPECTRA S (simultaneous outputs) but it is imperative that it has output over-current protection, as the power input of the SPECTRA is not fused. The equipment is required to be supplied by a properly approved/certified DC power source meeting the minimum electrical ratings of the product. Connect the AC power cord to a receptacle with a protective safety (earth) ground terminal.

  • Page 6: Precautions And Warnings

    DISCLAIMER: Lumencor shall not be liable for injury to the user or damage to the product resulting from the SPECTRA being used in a way for which it was not intended and in complete disregard for all posted safety precautions and warnings.

A USB-to-RS232 cable (Lumencor part no. 29-10011) for serial communication with computer workstations or the Light Engine Control Pod. Output adapter for light delivery via 3 mm diameter liquid light guide or SMA-terminated optical fiber (Figure 2).
  • Page 8 1.6 inches). Extreme bending of the light guide may cause permanent deformation, resulting in decreased light transmission. SPECTRA light engines have bandpass filters associated with each light source. These filters are part of the order specification and are not user-exchangeable. SPECTRA X light engines have user-exchangeable filters installed in...
  • Page 9 The paddles accept standard 25 mm diameter filters. A set screw recessed in the body of the paddle engages the perimeter mounting ring of the filter to secure it in place (Figure 4). A listing of standard bandpass filters available for installation in SPECTRA and SPECTRA X light engines can be found at http://lumencor.com/products/filters-for-spectra-...
  • Page 10 3.3 Operation Using the Light Engine Control Pod 1. Move the master power switch on the lower left of the SPECTRA rear panel (Figure 5) to the ON position. A green LED next to the switch indicates that power to the light engine is ON.
  • Page 11 OR relationship. Therefore source on/off controls on the light engine control pod, in the SPECTRA GUI or in third-party image acquisition control software must be set in the “OFF” state when using TTL control. The TTL interface does not control source output intensity, which remains under serial (RS-232) control. TTL polarity (ACTIVE = HIGH or ACTIVE = LOW) is factory set according to order specifications.
  • Page 12 Open loop and closed loop output monitoring and feedback systems are available as optional add-ons for SPECTRA and SPECTRA X light engines. These systems consist of a modified output adapter that directs a small fraction of the light output to an onboard reference photodiode, together with supporting signal processing electronics. For open loop monitoring , the reference signal is output to a rear panel BNC connector (Figure 7) for external display or processing.

  • Page 13: Spectral Output

    SPECTRA light engines can have 3–7 discrete spectral outputs, depending on their customer-specified configuration. SPECTRA X light engines have 7 discrete outputs (Figure 8) derived from an array of 6 solid state light sources. The SPECTRA X teal source can optionally be replaced by a near-infrared (nIR) source providing output from 710–750 nm (depending on the associated filter bandpass).
